10 Retro Ads That Made Women Look Like Idiots

3. Heinz (read the copy)



1949 ad for Heinz soups, back when men had only two worries: Communism and Dinner.


“Well he’s bored with my conversation and cooking.
But if I cook better, he might again start to notice how fucking boring I am.
And the beatings might return.
Oh, shoot — OK, Heinz, I’ll give a try!”




6. ICE



Yes, this is a 1941 ad for ice.
Women and carrots have the same enemy.
No, it’s not Hitler.
It’s DRYNESS.
And the giant carrots are going to get their moisture.
Little women, be damned.


2. Ivory




1968 Ivory campaign pulls no punches and punches women right in their ever-aging faces.
Unbelievably horrible guilt trip laid on the ladies.
